Things That Help

 

In this episode of Wiched Generation, host Julie Viola returns to the basics—what exactly is the Sandwich Generation, why it matters, and most importantly, what helps when you’re feeling stretched too thin. Whether you're caring for aging parents, raising kids, or doing both at once, this episode offers a reset and a few practical lifelines.

Julie breaks down three key strategies that helped her navigate some of the hardest caregiving days:

1. "Get your mind right" – Using visualization and short meditations to mentally prepare for emotional moments.
2. Movement – How even simple walks helped her reconnect with her body and relieve anxiety.
3. Gratitude – Finding small, sometimes silly glimmers of good in the everyday.

If you’re looking for encouragement and tangible ways to make the day-to-day a little lighter, this one’s for you. Because sometimes, it’s the little things that help the most.
